问题     Millions of Americans are entering their 60s and are more concerned than ever about retirement. They know they need to save, but how much? And what exactly are they saving for—to spend more time【C1】______the grandkids, go travelling, or start another career? It turns out that husbands and wives may have【C2】______different ideas about the subject.
    The deepest divide is in the way spouses envisage their lifestyle in their later years. Fidelity Investments Inc. found 41 percent of the 500 couples it surveyed【C3】______on whether both or at least one spouse will work in retirement. Wives are generally right regarding their husbands’ retirement age, but men【C4】______the age their wives will be when they stop working. And husbands are slightly more【C5】______about their standard of living than wives are.
    Busy juggling(穷于应付)careers and families, most couples don’t take the time to sit down,【C6】______or together, and think about what they would like to do 5, 10, or 20 years from now. They【C7】______they are on the same page, but the【C8】______is they have avoided even talking about it.
    If you are self-employed or in a job that doesn ’t have a standard retirement age, you may be more apt to delay thinking about these issues. It is often a【C9】______retirement date that provides the catalyst(催化剂)to start planning. Getting laid off or accepting an early-retirement【C10】______can force your hand. But don’t wait until you get a severance(遣散费)check to begin planning.
A)assume B)confidential C)disagree D)formula
E)forthcoming F)illustrating G)mysteriously H)observe
I)optimistic J)package K)radically L)reality
M)separately N)spoiling O)underestimate
【C4】
选项
答案O
解析 此空为谓语动词，且but为并列连词，前半句为一般现在时，此空也应用动词原形。把握此句大意的关键点在于but，前半句表达妻子一般能正确判断丈夫的退休年龄，由此可推断出丈夫不能准确判断。选项中underestimate(低估)符合此意。因此，正确答案是O。
